What’s interesting is that they have no refurbished Apple Watches in the US but they’re selling refurbished Apple Watch SE and Series 7 models in the UK. Maybe it just hasn’t come on high profile enough people’s radar. And I I’m I am kind of shocked that there hasn’t been a lawsuit or something against Apple for this kind of behavior. So I’m glad that they seem to have finally sold out of their stock. And I’ve reached out to Apple many many times for comments about this. Like what the heck, Apple? It’s really…to me it’s unconscionable that Apple would continue selling a product, even if it’s refurbished, that is no longer getting security updates. So it only took six months after they stopped releasing security updates for the Series 3. In the UK store, which had been still selling the Apple Watch Series 3 has finally stopped selling it. So there’s just no watches available on the US store currently. And they say if you go to that page, it says the product you’re looking for is currently unavailable. And in fact, Apple is not currently selling any refurbished Apple Watches, which is kind of interesting. There’s still slot for it on the US store. And finally around this weekend, they seem to have discontinued the selling the Apple Watch Series 3. But I noticed that they were still selling it in the UK. And as of a few weeks ago, the Apple Watch Series 3 was no longer available in the US store. I’ve been watching, you know, the sites where Apple has been selling, they have different country versions of the Apple online store. Well, finally, they’ve stopped selling it. ![]() So it’s about six months that they sold it they discontinued it in September. And after Apple no longer was providing security updates.
